After all the anticipation and excitement, the time has come. Utah Royals FC travel to Orlando to take on the Pride in their first ever National Women’s Soccer League match.
A new era begins
Despite being a team largely composed of the FC Kansas City roster from 2017, there is definitely a feeling of starting fresh surrounding this team. The trades for Kelley O’Hara, Taylor Lytle, and Diana Matheson, combined with new player signings like Gunny Jónsdóttir and Elise Thorsenes, as well as Laura Harvey’s tactical preferences, will give this team a chance to forge its own identity.
